章 584: Taught To Sacrifice

After the epiphany he had, Oriole sought out Arthur for clarification. He was shocked to see that his friend, who was as interested in runes as the other timeline, did not receive an epiphany.

"I heard about something like that," said Arthur when Oriole casually mentioned it. "I never received it, but awakening was more than I could ask. I have no more desire for strength."

I have no more desire for strength.

Those words made Oriole stare at Arthur as if he did not know him. It was the most bizarre thing to witness, as he had just seen his friend merge two worlds like a demigod. However, when he met Arthur who was untainted by suffering, the difference was as clear as day.

"What if you need more strength than you desire one day?" said Oriole with a frown. This mindset could not work for the alternate Arthur Silvera to enter this world. His friend smiled and ran his fingers across the runic weapons.
